Rob Boyd (left), rt Stevens (centre) ‘and ‘Felix Belczyk were awarded medals at o banquet Friday night for epee in Stevens ca Donald Stevens win the Canadian men's downhill championship Friday on Granite ptures title the C Rossland. two top-15 finishes in four injury-plagued seasons as a member of the World Cup team. He placed fourth at Kutzbuehel, Austria last month and was 1ith last weekend at Morzine, France. The 22-year-old national ski team pa from Rossland clocked a time of one minute 56.66 seconds on the fast 48-gate course to capture the Export A cup. Stevens said he lost a lot of Sleep the night before the race because of his illness. After getting up at 7:30 a.m. for a bit of breakfast, he went back to bed until 9:30 a.m. before heading up to Red Mountain for the race. “I was sitting beside the toilet for a half an hour or so because I thought I was going to be sick. Luckily I wasn't but I didn't sleep for a few hours.” Stevens said his victory may have been due to the fact that he was feeling a bit weak and “let everything go” and “tried to put everything out of my mind.” Stevens said he “wasn't feeling too bad” when he got up to the hill, and he saved all his energy for the race. Stevens said he was surprised at winning the Export A Cup “It brings my confidence up a lot,” he said. Stevens said he has been depressed over the season as a result of dismal performances but said Friday's victory should give him a lot more confidence going into the next race. Stevens said he trained well in the summer and fall but the results didn't come because he may have been too eager to do well. At last: year’s Canadian downhill championships at Whistler, Stevens was the top Canadian, placing third. Two years ago at the championships in Rossland, Stevens came in fourth. Stevens said being on his home course was definite advantage. He said he thought the course was going to be slower Friday but as it worked out he turned in his fastest time of the week. In Tuesday's training run Stevens was tops in 1:58.23. Wednesday he was third and fourth in 2:02.56 and 2:01.18 and in Thursday's Red Mountain Cup he placed third in 1:58.36. Teammate Rob Boyd of Whistler, winner of Thursday's Red Mountain Cup, was .02 seconds behind Stevens in second spot. Castlegar’s Felix Belezyk placed third in 1:56.77. He won one training run Wednesday and was second in another. He was fifth Thursday in the Cup. Commenting on Friday's finish, Belezyk said: “Third’s not as good as first, but I'll take it.” Belezyk said the top part of the course went well but he made a mistake coming out the lower flats when he broke out of his tuck. “Icame up to it and didn’t absorb it properly he said Brooker was .01 seconds behind Belezyk in Friday's race. Brooker said that although he didn't win the race, he got what he wanted out of it. “I got my confidence back,” Brooker said, adding that he’s feeling better about going back on the World Cup circuit. Brooker also congratulated Sevens on his win. “Tm happy for him,” Brooker said. “He skied so well in the fall. He was virtually unbeatable.” Brooker said Stevens’ results were disappointing in the World Cup because of the inexperience on the World Cup cureuit. Brooker added that Stevens's victory at the downhill championships has a lot to do with the fact that Belezyk is doing well. Brooker also said the course on Friday was well prepared — better than any other year and probably better than the courses in Europe. In other results, Daniel Moar of North Vancouver was fifth in 1:57.51, Michael Carney of Squamish was sixth in 1:57.72, Paul Boivin of St. Lambert, Que., was seventh in 1:57.84, Robbie Bosinger of Banff was eighth in 1:57.87, Chris Kent of Calgary placed ninth in 1:58.01, Gary Athans of Kelowna was 10th in 1:58.77, Scott Shaver of Ottawa was 11th in 1:58.89,,Ralph Socher of Fernie was 12th in 2:00.05, Rick Ito of Kelowna was 13th in 2:00.48, Curtis Christian of Burnaby was 14th in 2:00.95 and Roman Torn of Vancouver was 15th in 2:01.26. Meanwhile, in Thursday's Red Mountain Cup Boyd, a member of the national C team, clocked a time of one minute, 57.52 seconds to win. Brian Stemmle of Aurora, Ont. was second in 1:58.35. Stevens was .01 seconds behind in third spot Todd Brooker came fourth clocking 1:58.73, Felix Belezyk was fifth in 1:58.80, Gary Athans was sixth in 1:59.08, Paul Boivin of St. Lambert, Que. and Robbie Bosinger tied for seventh place with a time of 1:59.48. Daniel Moar was ninth in 1:59.63, Michael Carney was 10th in 1:59.78, Derek Trussler of Rossland was 12th in 2:01.66, Fraser Ross was 13th in 2:01.96, Ralph Socher was 14th in 2:02.90 and Rob Crossan of Barrie, Ont. was 15th in 2:02.12. Belezyk and Brooker are returning to Europe this week to take part in the double downhill in Sweden next weekend. Following Friday's race, men's head coach Glen Wurtele announced that Boyd and Stemmle would be joining Brooker and Belezyk in Sweden. Financial “It's kind of like a parachute effect,” he Belezyk said after losing the time, there was no place to make it up. But Belezyk has had his good moments this season. He summed up an encouraging winter on the World Cup cireuit in one word — “confidence.” “T'm feeling a lot more secure of myself,” says the 24-year-old skier Belezyk's confidence this season has led to his first Pp had earlier d to leave Canada with only a two-man team. Wurtele said Boyd and Stemmile had progressed well this season and deserved a chance to race in World Cup. He said the Canadian Ski Association would just have to try to cut corners for the rest of the season. He said Stevens would be remaining at home because of his illness and a desire to get him ready for the downhills in Whistler and Aspen.
